Barely two months after becoming a new father Nigerian comedian Seyi Law was the victim of an attempted armed robbery which he was lucky enough to escape unscathed.
Unfortunately, his friend and travelling companion at the time was not so lucky and received multiple stab wounds.
Writing on Instagram, Seyi recounted the harrowing experience with robbers around the Apongbon area in Lagos.
He wrote…
Let me just thank God for seeing me through all the challenges of the past month. Friends have not been able to get through to me due to the tedious schedules and happenings. Finally, today I thought I was going home and having tomorrow all to myself to rest and catch up with friends only to have my car break down at Apongbon and some hoodlums attacked stabbing my friend in multiple places just because they wanted phones and money. What would have become of me today? I am so grateful to God Almighty. They escaped before Police arrived, but I asked myself if people had come to our rescue and descended on the hoodlums wouldn’t people say SEYILAW was involved in jungle justice? Hmmmmm. Ka sa ma dupe. Thanks to the ever active Lagos Police PRO, SP Dolapo Badmos, @opetodolapo and all those that responded to my calls. God bless you.
Law and his wife welcomed their first child after five years of marriage at the end of October, a beautiful baby girl. Luckily she would still have daddy around despite the efforts of those criminal elements.
